I found B12 supplements were critical a couple months post op. First I got them from my WLS surgeon during follow ups. Then I switched to sublingual pills once a week

You know you’re old when your high school wardrobe comes back into style.

Tacos from the other night repurposed into taco salad

I had been craving Chinese food so badly after returning from vacay, finally ordered in last night I have zero faith in the accuracy of this nutritional info. I threw in some oil because that was definitely undercounted

Sesame cucumber 😀 and you peeled them all pretty too 😍

Best part of Thanksgiving - leftovers. There were slim pickings, family devoured just about everything Tastes better than it looks, promise!

As a vet, I'd like to kindly suggest you reframe your thinking. There's no cheating, there are no bad foods. You're still allowed to eat and enjoy food. It's all about balance. You don't need to feel guilty or do an extreme work out to make up for anything. You're going to need to find a sustainable way of eating and relating to food. Realistically, you likely ate under 1500 calories0 calories

I agree with @KimA-GA, that real hunger and head hunger are very distinct for me. Real hunger, then most food sounds good, healthy food included. Head hunger is specific foods, like pizza or chocolate, and healthy food isn't appealing.

Dr. V has been pretty discredited by "retiring" from bariatric surgery and then shilling MLM snake oil

More lazy cooking - Gringo Tacos

And I do sometimes cook, which these days means throwing things in a crockpot, like beef stew. Man that after looks so gross!

A couple months back a taco stand opened up in the evening on the corner near my house. I had resisted until last night. Now I'm in trouble because it was the best al pastor taco I've had in a minute, and it's just a 3 minute walk 😩

IMO, the real problem here is your husband. "my husband has said, she can't buy a house until interest rates settle down, there's no rentals in the area and he can't kick her out because she will have nowhere to go, so we just have to put up with her until then." None of those things are your and your husband's problem. I'm sure there are some rentals, somewhere. She has lost the privilege to live in your home, and she needs to deal with the consequences.

I don't think I've actually measured anything for years. I think the rice lesson is a good one because it's all about proportions. My bf's house has no measuring cups, so I make rice as one pint glass of rice, with two pint glasses of water, and eyeball salt 🤷‍♂️ I just looked online for the Shan spice mix I used to use regularly, but no joy . I'm much too lazy to make the drive to Little India, 10 miles away 😂

ok, now I need the recipe ... I've been shamed into cooking

It's international business class. Week to week peanut and pretzel work travel funds more comfortable long haul vacation award travel.

So one last fancy-ish post for a while for me. My meal on the plane (on the way back from vacation 😪) Pea soup with mint (this was delicious, minus the actual peas 😂) Salad with a ranch like dressing (who knew they had ranch in Poland!) Pierogi with cottage cheese, beef ragout and diced root veggies. This may have been my favorite plane meal ever. I was doubtful on the cottage cheese, but it was creamy and didn't have the tang we have in the US. Every single bite was delicious. I took a long pause mid meal and finished it all. Beer and movie time Midflight cheese plate (no after but I ate only the pesto cheese and grapes. I actually asked if they had any leftover pierogi plates 😂 Lunch before landing. Spinach & ricotta ravioli. The only standout on this plate was the poached shrimp, fresh green and delicious sesame dressing (in the cup)

Back through the history of this thread I started out posting my meal when I was in the weight loss phase, like a quarter sandwich, lol. Then I posted my dining out meals, from work travel. Then I posted the low carb meal preps I was doing primarily for my bf (cause my diet is anything but low carb!). Then early pandemic I was doing large scale meal prep for three different (but small) households, because of grocery scarcity, and the sudden end to my work travel gave me free time. But I burned out on cooking a while ago. Now I just post the occasional home cooked meal, or something special or fancy. Like @GreenTealael I don't post because how many times a week do people want to see a paper bowls with tater tots and season salt, or an 80% eaten McChicken 😂? This is what currently makes up a large % of my weekly diet (when I'm not in France 🥐🥖🍷) 😂

So which ne of these is actually cake?? The saltines? lemons?? 🤣🤣🤣

Now I want dal! I wish I wasn't in such an anti-cooking stage. It kills me that it costs $15 for a tiny container from a restaurant, when it is so easy and cheap to make.

BBL = Brazilian butt lift tt = tummy tuck

He’s primarily a BBL surgeon. I wouldn’t choose him for a tt, particularly after massive weight loss.

I’m not ms.sss obviously, but I would describe American (southern) biscuits as scones, but much lighter, less dense & fluffy

I don’t share my taquitos or quesadilla or tater tot dinners 😂
